Questions
How many rice, pasta and other whole grains items are on the Michigan WIC list?
221 barcodes, in 7 subcategories as the state names them ("Whole Wheat Pasta", "Brown Rice", "Oatmeal"). The list is dated run date October 1, 2026. Michigan ranks 5 of 14 lists we compare by number of rice, pasta and other whole grains barcodes.
Which rice, pasta and other whole grains brands does Michigan WIC list most?
By number of barcodes: Kroger (15), Great Value (14), Meijer (12). Store brands are on the list only where that store operates.
Are these rice, pasta and other whole grains items WIC approved in other states too?
75% of them are also on at least one other state's list; 55 are only on the Michigan list (mostly regional store brands). Each row shows how many of the 14 lists include that barcode.
Does the list say which size I can buy?
The state's subcategory names often carry the size or type rule (for example "Whole Wheat Pasta"). How many you can buy each month is on your WIC benefits, not on the product list. For the full rules, check the Michigan WIC shopping guide or ask your WIC clinic.
